Configuring quiz settings

When you first create a quiz, you need to go to the Settings page. The settings that you select affect only that particular quiz. The settings affect things such as the number of questions displayed on each page of the quiz, whether a student can retry the quiz, whether the quiz has a time limit, and more. The settings affect the look and behavior of the quiz.

After the settings are chosen, you add questions to the quiz; the questions are the content of the quiz.

In Moodle, think of a quiz as a combination of the settings (display and behavior), the container (the quiz pages), and the questions (content).

The Settings page is divided into nine areas. Let's look at the settings under each area, top to bottom.
